Analyzing the Economic Impact of Consumer Confidence
Imagine an economy where a new policy injects $100 billion of new spending. An optimistic economist predicts that households will spend 80% of any additional income they receive. A pessimistic economist, however, believes households will only spend 50% of any additional income. Calculate the total potential increase in economic output according to each economist's prediction. In your answer, explain why the two predictions differ so significantly, based on the underlying calculation.
